Sharp Differences Voiced
On Jewish All-Day Schools
CINCINNATI Pros and cons of the Jewish "all-day
school" were presented here this week at * discussion before
the Central Conference of American Rabbis. A sharp differ-
ence in attitude on the question of "parochial schools" was
voiced.
Hebrew Teachers College
Holds 21st Commencement
VETS WIN SCHOLARSHIPSAwards at Hebrew Teachers Col-
lege Commencement exercises Sunday went to three veterans of World
War II, Alfred A. Greenbaum of Roxbury and Walter I. Ackerman of
Dorchester, who will study in Israel, and David Weinstein of Dor-
chester, who will do graduate work in this country. Left to right:
Greenbaum, Ackerman, Lewis H. Weinstein, President of the Board of
Trustees; Dean Eisig Silberschlasr, David Weinstein, and Professor
Horace M. Kallen of the New School for Social Research in New York,
Commencement speaker.
Honors at the 21st Commence-
ment of the Hebrew Teachers Col-
lege went to three young veterans
of World War II last Sunday after-
noon at the College auditorium, 14
Crawford street, Roxbury. The
exercises brought to 214 the num-
ber of alumni of the college and
the class of 15 graduates, all of
whom attend secular colleges in
addition to their work at the He-
brew Teachers College, was the
second largest in the history of the
scfaocl.
Alfred A. Greenbaum of Roxbury
was awarded the Alumni Associa-
tion Scholarship for $1500 for a
year's study at the Hebrew Uni-
versity in Jerusalem. Walter I.

Dr. Emanuel Gamoran, of Cin-
cinnati, educational director of the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations, presented a favorable I
approach for the day schools. Dr.
Victor E. Reichert, rabbi of the |
Rockdale Avenue Temple of Cin-
cinnati, presented the case against
the day schools.
"Liberal Judaism gladly accepts
the invitation and challenge of
American democracy," Dr. Reich-
ert said. "We know the efforts to
invade the public schools by some
near-sighted leaders of organized
religious denominations and the
smear tactics of other powerful
groups to decry the public schools
as 'godless.'
"Shell of Separation"
"I see the Jewish all-day school
as a phenomenon that must be in-
terpreted in the context of the
eclipse of humanistic liberalism
and withdrawal into the shell of
separatism. The all-day school
seeks survival by voluntary with-
drawal and segregation from the
American public school the best
workshop we have to forge the
tools for a more ideal America.
"I want an America where chil-
dren will respect and appreciate
the religious and cultural differ-
ences into which they were born
apart because they have shared
in the basic human enterprises
they have lived together.'
Dr. Gamoran observed that "it
is good American tradition to per-
mit private secular schools and
day schools under religious auspic-
police, Maiden and Melrose detec-
tives following complaints by per-
sons whose loved-ones are buried
in the Congregation Hadrath Is-
rael and Workmen's Circle Ceme-
tery, both situated off the New-
buryport Turnpike in Melrose.
Praise for Officers
MacWilliams singled out for
praise Lt. Charles Fried of the
state-police, Patrolman James F.
McCarthy of Maiden Police and
Robert A. Lloyd and Detective-
Sergeant Leo P. Murray of the
Melrose Police for their work in
uncovering the alleged vandals.
The Anti-Defamation League
and the Jewish Community Council
praised District-Attorney George
Thompson of Middlesex County
for bringing the investigation to a
successful conclusion.
Another Desecration
Meanwhile, still another ceme-
tery desecration has been reported
to the Anti-Defamation -League.
Youngsters in Natick overturned
two small tombstones in the Na-
tick-Framingham cemetery.
Natick police found the respons-
ible parties to be youngsters whose
parents have agreed to make res-
titution for damages.

srael Plan
LAKE SUCCESS Interna-
tionalization of Jerusalem
was ruled out this week as
the United Nations Trustee-
ship Council clearly indicated
its intention to report back
to the General Assembly that
it was unable to follow As-
sembly instructions to impose
a strict UN internationaliza-
tion over the Holy City.
Back to Assembly
A proposal to refer the Jerusa-
lem problem back to the Assembly
was first voiced by New Zealand
and then supported in essence by
the United States, Great Britain,
Belgium and France. It is believed
that the reference to the Assem-
bly is certain to be approved this
week.
The reason behind the Council's
action, whether or not it is stated
plainly in the resolution, will he
that strict internationalization
plan was completely rejected by
both Israel and Jordan, who now
occupy Jerusalem.
"Sorry Farce"
At the close of Mr. Khalidi's
speech, New Zealand's Sir Carl
Berendsen said that it was "high
time to terminate this sorry farce"
of expecting the Trusteeship Coun-
cil to "waste time, energy and
money" on trying to carry out the
Assembly resolution to interna-
tionalize Jerusalem.
Sir Carl said that the resolu-
tion, approved last December
through a strange coalition of
Arab, Communist and Latin Ame-
